Accelerated Laminar Total Clean Burn Combustion
ALTCBC improves " Torque & Power " through the entire operating range with lesser amounts of fuel.

This Singh fellow is interesting and is well-motivated to be sure.
What I find cool about all this is that the 2.3 Duratec PZEV (the only Duratec I am more than familiar with) incorporates turbulence-generators to vastly reduce idle emissions. Tumble flaps, as they were previously known... now called "charge motion control" are external from the cylinder head.
I suppose, not having read much more than the first page on your link, that these "grooves" are to be milled into the combustion chamber of just about any conventinal internal-combustion engine. There was mention of some fairly radical efficiency increases with the now-ancient side-valve (flathead) engines, too.
I'd think that this is even more reason not to delete the tumble flaps on our engines...
I'll read more of his stuff in the next few days when I'm not so freaking tired from 12 hour days at work.
